You have a remarkable talent for writing. I love this story about your mom, it’s truly illustrates the special person she is. I too want to only see the colorful polka dots.

And as I have spent time with your mom over the last few years helping her and being around her during her illness, I can confirm all you have said. And I am also learning about focusing on the polka dots instead of the inkblots. God is good! All the time! Julie Sarah

But I like the powerful imagery of colorful polka dots (and ink spots) much better; I'm sure it will stay with me just as it has for you and your sister. Thank you for sharing some of your mother's inspiring wisdom. She is an increbibly strong person and I am so saddened to read about her illness. My best to all of you.

I am sitting here in a public library, crying as I read about your crazy, beautiful, funny mother. I hope one day my kids will feel about me the way you feel about your mom. Great, heartfelt story!
